Made You Up - Francesca Zappia

Titel: Made You UpFörfattare: Francesca ZappiaSerie: -Sidor: 428

Reality, it turns out,
is often not what you perceive it to be—sometimes, there really is
someone out to get you. Made You Up tells the story of Alex, a high
school senior unable to tell the difference between real life and
delusion.

Alex
fights a daily battle to figure out the difference between reality and
delusion. Armed with a take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic
8-Ball, and her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war against
her schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long enough to get into
college. She’s pretty optimistic about her chances until classes begin,
and she runs into Miles. Didn't she imagine him? Before she knows it,
Alex is making friends, going to parties, falling in love, and
experiencing all the usual rites of passage for teenagers. But Alex is
used to being crazy. She’s not prepared for normal.

Funny,
provoking, and ultimately moving, this debut novel featuring the
quintessential unreliable narrator will have readers turning the pages
and trying to figure out what is real and what is made up.

“I didn't have the luxury of taking reality for granted. And I wouldn't
say I hated people who did, because that's just about everyone. I didn't
hate them. They didn't live in my world. But that never stopped me from wishing I lived in theirs.”
